Guest Suites

You come to the water to be refreshed. To quench a thirst. To wash away the stress, the work, and the years. And the water welcomes you as do we at our Duluth bed and breakfast.

Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes, and its north shore is known for its rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and breathtaking vistas.  

There is something about staying at a bed and breakfast that allows you to fully immerse yourself in this stunning landscape. At our Duluth bed and breakfast, you get to wake up each morning to the sound of waves lapping against the shore. You can sip a  cup of local, Duluth-roasted coffee while gazing out at the water.

Our bed and breakfast in Duluth sits on the shore of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world, and no other Duluth bed and breakfast gets you closer to her shores than ours. 

Staying at a bed and breakfast lets you connect with other travelers and locals in a way that’s simply not possible at a traditional hotel. Bed and breakfasts are run by people like us who are deeply invested in their communities and usually eager to share their knowledge of the area with their guests. By staying at our Duluth bed and breakfast, you’ll have the opportunity to make new friends if you choose, learn about local history and culture, and get inside information on the best places to eat, drink, and explore.

As a Solglimt guest, you’ll enjoy:

  • Multi-course gourmet breakfast served at 9 AM each morning, prepared with locally grown, organic foods, coffee, and teas
  • Complimentary cold soda and bottled water, snacks, and cookies 
  • Private bathrooms in all suites 
  • Aveda bath amenities, including lotion, soaps, shampoo, and body wash
  • Wireless internet access 
  • Cable TV in every suite 
  • Smart TV in every suite
  • In-room heat and air conditioning  
  • Amazon Echo in every room 
  • Award-winning gardens 
  • Long walks on the beach 
  • Beautiful starry nights 

The Solglimt Rose Package: For a birthday, anniversary, or romantic getaway, nothing says it better than roses. As a special secret for your important someone, add a dozen roses arranged in a vase to your room at our bed and breakfast for $30. 

Our Green Commitment: From local and organic food to environmentally-friendly products and building materials, our bed and breakfast strives to pamper our guests and care for the environment. Read more.

Oscar Nelson

Storied Stay with Classic Charm

Looking for that classic Duluth bed and breakfast charm? The Oscar Nelson Suite has it—along with a king-sized bed and partial views of the Duluth Harbor, St. Louis Bay, and the city skyline.

Perched on the second floor, it’s our only suite with a private deck, perfect for watching the hustle and bustle of Lake Avenue and the path to the iconic Lift Bridge.

When you’re ready to unwind at our lakefront bed and breakfast, step into the private gardens, stroll down to the beach on Lake Superior, or head up to the rooftop deck for a peaceful panoramic view—all just a short walk from your door.

This suite honors Oscar Nelson, a Navy veteran and Medal of Honor recipient who built the original two-room cabin here in 1910, which is now the foundation of Duluth’s only waterfront B&B. His story lives on in this room and at the Veterans Memorial Hall just up the road.

Please note: This suite is located on the second floor and is only accessible by stairs.

Kandinsky's Loft

An Artistic Escape in the Heart of Duluth

Step into a living canvas on the top floor of our Duluth bed and breakfast — a vibrant, light-filled loft inspired by Open Green, a painting by modernist master Wassily Kandinsky.

 

Kandinsky’s Suite is more than a room — it’s a bold, immersive experience. With its open layout, dramatic colors, and energizing design, this third-floor hideaway feels like walking into a dreamscape. As one guest put it:

“Definitely not your great-grandma’s bedroom.”
 
Perfect for romantic celebrations like honeymoons and anniversaries, yet equally ideal for solo travelers seeking a creative retreat, this suite balances artistic flair with cozy comfort. Snuggle into a plush European pillow-top queen bed. Gaze out over Duluth Harbor and St. Louis Bay from your private perch. Watch the iconic Lift Bridge through the skylight — a view you’ll remember long after your stay.
 
Please note: This suite is located on the third floor and is accessible only by stairs.

Aerial Bridge Suite

Canal Views and Lake Breezes

Unwind in the contemporary king-sized bed or soak in the Thermo-masseur tub, complete with a heated backrest and gentle jets for the perfect retreat. With stunning views of Lake Superior right outside your window, every moment here is worth savoring.

This second-floor suite offers one of our best vantage points of the Duluth Shipping Canal, ideal for watching ships glide under the Lift Bridge into the harbor or slipping out past the horizon towards some new distant port. You’ll also enjoy direct views of Lake Superior and the many manicured Solglimt gardens. Located at the art-filled hall’s end, this suite provides a quiet retreat with a gentle separation from Lake Avenue.

Designed during our most recent expansion with eco-friendly features, the suite includes bamboo floors, a clean-burning gas fireplace, and plush water-saving towels that care for the environment.

Please note: This suite is located on the second floor and is only accessible by stairs.

Our guests tell us how they use the space to slow down, gain perspective, and pamper themselves:

“We stayed in the recently finished Aerial Bridge Suite…. AHHHHH…. The Thermomasseur tub was a welcome oasis after an unusually hectic week for us. The separate walk-in shower was incredible, and it was tempting to spend our entire time in there!”

“From the king-sized bed to the amazing view to the really unique three-level shower — hard to describe, but very cool — this was an excellen.t”

Lake Superior Suite

Spectacular Views, Unforgettable Stays

Often described as our “flagship room,” the Lake Superior Suite is the most spacious at our Duluth Bed and Breakfast.

Located on the second floor, it features a king-sized four-poster bed, vaulted 20-foot ceilings, and—on occasion—a whimsical pink flamingo or two perched in the beams.

Two large windows offer the widest lake view of any suite on the property, with a sweeping panorama of Lake Superior, Duluth’s hillside, and the shipping canal. From the sitting area’s two comfortable chairs, guests enjoy a front-row view of sailboats, longships, seagulls, and swimmers in summer—or ever-changing ice formations in winter. The rise of the Aerial Lift Bridge and the sound of waves on the shore or the nearby fountain complete the experience.

Sunrises are stunning year-round. A favorite for honeymoons, anniversaries, and romantic getaways, this suite’s guestbook frequently includes a single word: breathtaking.

Please note: This suite is located on the second floor and is only accessible by stairs.
